Backlash

The wars that occurred previously, constrained by the Planetary Will, had already resulted in horrific carnage.

However, when the Planetary Will completely descends into madness and actively triggers natural disasters, the resulting carnage amounts to tens of millions.

In comparison, war is nothing more than a minor skirmish.

Volcanoes in various places have become active.

First, a cloud of volcanic ash billowed out, making the surrounding air extremely murky.

Soon after, scorching lava erupted, galloping through the mountains and forests like a wild horse.

Wherever they went, they left behind scorched earth.

Many of these volcanoes haven't erupted in nearly a century.

Therefore, there are more or less some small settlements around them.

These settlements were living peacefully, but in the face of natural disasters, they were powerless to fight back and could only watch helplessly as their homes were swallowed up by volcanic ash and lava.

As the death toll continued to rise, the Psychic Energy that had been imprisoned within the bodies of living beings was released.

These Psychic Energies have, to some extent, replenished the energy extracted from some planets.

But that's far from enough to repair the entire planet.

Therefore, natural disasters continue.

Just as Ruolan Star was consciously killing those living beings to repair itself.

"It's truly rotten to the core, Ruolan Star."

Shisui chuckled, his tone more of amusement than condemnation.

The power that had been accumulating within his body mingled with the ever-increasing energy of his flesh and blood.

Without hesitation, he began to break through the bottlenecks of the Eighth Realm and Ninth Realms of the Heaven Realm.

As Zi Sui advanced, his Kagune Shisui outwards, like a ferocious monster, drawing nourishment from countless deaths.

Meanwhile, on the Jade Swallow Continent, the Banshee Sea Demon, like him, was absorbing energy.

However, having already reached the peak of the Ninth Realm of the Heaven Realm, he has no intention of attempting to break through to the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

With the remains of the Dragon Whisker in front of him, plus the overwhelming resentment caused by the numerous deaths, he was overwhelmed.

In theory, the Banshee Sea Demon is already qualified to challenge the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Unfortunately, not only could he not, but he also forcibly suppressed his cultivation level.

Because now is the moment when the Planetary Will is at its strongest in nearly a century.

Under His oppressive power, the Banshee Sea Demon could not advance in rank.

The Psychic Energy fluctuations emitted during a promotion could even lead to one's death.

This planet is currently lacking energy, and advancing to the Heaven-Controlling Realm now would be tantamount to robbing this planet of its resources.

Therefore, Shisui had previously told the Banshee Sea Demon not to be in a hurry.

Before the Planetary Will, the sharpest blade against which Ruolan Star is most vulnerable, is completely broken, advancing to the Heaven-Controlling Realm is not a good choice.

On the other side, Lantiao Continent.

"Clang!"

The sharp triangular cone at the tip of the lapis lazuli chain was stained with blood, and it was wielded to stab and slash.

The Beast King's hard scales collided with the tips of the chains, instantly sending sparks flying.

The Eye of Madness scattered all over his body each had their own function.

The eyes on the body are responsible for either gathering energy or interfering with the enemy.

The wings continuously fire needle-like Psychic Energy arrows, relentlessly probing the joints of the Planetary Will chains.

The truly Eye of Madness, located in the center of the eye, is responsible for observation and analysis.

And it attacks the moment the special energy body of the Planetary Will reveals even a fraction of itself.

Behind the Beast King, the Long-Life Elder was also engaged in battle.

Branches and vines continued to grow, entangled and struggled with the snake-like, flexible chains.

To be honest, if the Planetary Will hadn't been so determined to take his life and that of all the Tree Spirits...

The Long-Life Elder would not so vehemently resist the Planetary Will.

Their clan didn't have much material desire to begin with.

My biggest wish is to have my own woodland where I can quietly bask in the sun.

It absorbs a tiny bit of nutrients from the soil and draws some Psychic Energy from the air.

It can be said that, with the exception of a few individuals like the Dragon Whisker, most Tree Spirit Species are quite well-behaved.

However, the Planetary Will has lost trust in the Heaven-Controlling Realm who have repeatedly "challenged" it.

Rather than gambling on whether these time bombs will explode in the future.

He decided to take action now and wipe them all out!

"Boom--!"

As the chains struck, a ravine, thousands of meters long and tens of meters deep, suddenly split open in the middle of the Lantiao Continent.

The roots of the Long-Life Elder were neatly cut away, with most of them removed.

The leaves on the tall, ancient tree's dense canopy drooped down instantly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Long-Life Elder immediately mobilized his Psychic Energy to generate a large number of roots, intending to forcibly close the ditch.

He deliberately shed the dense leaves from the tree canopy, reducing energy consumption while driving the leaves to attack the Planetary Will.

The three sides are locked in a fierce battle, which is clearly not going to end anytime soon.

But the Planetary Will cannot accept this situation.

The energy He uses now is constantly flowing away, returning to the planet itself.

This was something He forcibly borrowed; in order for the planet to function properly, it couldn't remain for too long.

If he cannot finish the battle quickly, he may not be able to severely injure these two Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Let alone killing them.

The energy within the consciousness was rapidly depleted as the attack intensified.

Although both the Beast King and the Long-Life Elder were dealing damage, He was ultimately fighting two opponents at once and was beginning to feel some pressure.

"Bang!"

Dozens of chains swept out simultaneously, knocking the Beast King and the Long-Life Elder back over a hundred meters.

With its internal energy reduced by more than two-thirds, the Planetary Will has no choice but to extract energy again.

Because this is the third extraction, the Planetary Will must be even more careful to ensure that it does not cause irreversible damage to the planet.

Therefore, during this energy extraction, the Planetary Will slowly coalesced from among the numerous chains, forming a faint, ethereal consciousness.

Like the chains, the majestic consciousness was enveloped in a bluish-gold aura.

Although it hangs high in the sky, one can immediately sense its close connection to the planet beneath one's feet.

"Oh no! Stop him!"

The Long-Life Elder immediately guessed what the Planetary Will wanted to do.

"I'll try to remove the chains in front of Him and disrupt His actions!"

The Beast King naturally realized what was happening as well.

A terrifying aura of Psychic Energy immediately erupted from his body, and his largest pair of Eye of Madness gathered power.

They are preparing to intervene and disrupt the Planetary Will.

Upon hearing his shout, the Long-Life Elder mobilized all his Psychic Energy, preparing to sweep away the obstructing chains with a single blow.

Just then, space in the sky distorted, and suddenly another person appeared.

The other party had clearly concealed all their presence and was extremely skilled in this art.

Therefore, none of the Heaven-Controlling Realm present had detected his presence beforehand.

The Planetary Will, on the other hand, detected the fluctuations in Spatial Energy, but was too preoccupied with preparing to extract energy to stop it.

Shisui arrived at the physical form of the Planetary Will with such ease.

He was no more than a hundred meters away.

This hundred-meter distance was separated by heavy chains and a space that was frozen in an instant.

For others, this is an insurmountable barrier.

But for Shisui Sui, who had already reached the peak of the Ninth Realm of the Heaven Realm, it was only a step away.

The next moment, using himself as an anchor point, the Banshee Sea Demon suddenly appeared beside the Planetary Will.

"Ah--!"

The venomous shriek originating from the soul instantly took effect on the conscious mind.

The simple ritual by which the Planetary Will drew energy from Ruolan Star was interrupted.

The energy within the consciousness began to flow back in reverse, like the receding tide.

The lapis lazuli chain shattered into pieces.

The backlash began.
